Game Plan

Early Game

Turns 1-2
Prioritize hitting land drops and hold up interaction. Answer the most threatening plays rather than developing proactively.
Bone Splinters
Doomed Traveler
Discordant Piper

Mid Game

Turns 3-4
Start transitioning from pure reaction to building card advantage. Identify your path to a win condition while keeping answers open.
Dark Bargain
Tomb Robber
Underworld Charger

Late Game

Turn 5+
Deploy Torgaar, Famine Incarnate and Drogskol Cavalry when the opponent's resources are exhausted. Keep interaction mana open even when winning — never tap out unnecessarily.
